Support buddy needed!



Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm a 20 year old female recently sleeved. I'm sorta going through this alone and it sucks so much not to have anyone understand or even be willing to understand/help out. I would love to have a support buddy to text daily and exchange details, recipes, struggles, and ideas with. Anyone willing to get to know me?

I would love to take part in this discussion. I am getting sleeved tomorrow!! I am so nervous I am on my second day of only liquids. I think The hardest part for me will be not eating the way I'm used to. I think I dreamed about eating a hamburger last night! I know I'm going to need all the help/support I can get!

I live in Atlanta Georgia and my name is Ashlee.

Hello I would love to have a buddy or buddies to share with , i was sleeved on Oct, 27th 2014. I have no one to really share with and I would be delighted to have a daily chat with buddies and to share ideas it would make my journey so much easier, I started my journey about 250 and right now am 220 . I would like to see the weight to go down some more, I can see a difference in clothes so maybe inches, I don't know, I go back to my dr, the end of the month, and to the dietician also. I am in Maine and anyone please write, thanks so much. Always Donna also Mammysm@aol.com I will be anxiously waiting. God Bless

To add to my recent post, I had a reversion from the lapband to the sleeve. as you can see I did have a lapband in 2006 and now it has been removed, I feel much better now with the sleeve. Donna

Hey everyone! I was sleeping and New Years Eve. Looks like there were a lot of us at the end of the year. I am fortunate, in that I have 3 family members who have had some sort of WLS. One is my ex sister in law and she's a nurse so she has given me lots of support and information. I also have two daughters in law who are nurses. So I have a great auxiliary medical team. But having people who are at the same stage as me would be great. My name is Kim and I live in Kansas. Otherwise known as bfe.????

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
